Watch Your Words: You Get What you Say You Will

“You have been talking to yourself and saying things to yourself for years and years. You have been repeating many of the ‘same old things’, perhaps, for decades. You have been telling others, too. You have, haven’t you? You have been repeating a story you tell to all.

Your story is what you think you and life are all about. You tell yourself and others your limitations, problems, setbacks, dashed hopes, worries, anxieties and everything else! Don’t you? My guess is, while some things change, much of your story remains the same.

It is consistent. It is why you are stuck, broken, limited and unable in to move ahead. Yes, at times you may mention your personal resources. Regardless, you, I and everyone, have been repeating stories about ourselves since our childhood. We need to watch it.

What You Say Is What You Get – What You Focus On Expands

The stories may or may not be real. I say they aren’t. Some will argue that. These stories are our reasons, our ‘becauses’, our ‘whys’ for what is. They’re explanations we got from others when we were too young to know the difference. We’ve lived with these for years.

Now, is the time to change your story. If the one you tell doesn’t support you in being the person you want to be, doing the things you’d like to do and having what you want, then it is time to stop telling the old non-supportive story. Swap it for a supportive one.

Make up a new one. The old one was made up. It’s just a fairy tale you believed. Make up a better one; one that is positive, productive, supportive and which helps you live the life you want to live. Change your story for one that works for you, instead of against you.

If You Say What You Have – You Will Have What You Say

The time to do this is right now. There is no better time. Now, is the only time. Do it. Don’t wait. Waste time, no more. Get into it and create the story and the life you want to be living. If you won’t, no one will do it for you. Create your life and make it happen. Yes!

Then you will live the life you design. You will live life on your terms. Tell it the way you want it to be. Tell it as you want it to unfold. Speak it into existence. Re-write your history and fashion your future. Create what you want instead of accepting someone else’s version. Do it! Live, love, laugh. Learn to enjoy. Be grateful. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Expressing Gratitude Transforms Everything! Don’t Wait Do It Now!

“Are you keeping a gratitude journal? Are you writing in it daily? If you answered yes to both, congratulate yourself. You have another reason to be grateful. If you said no, then NOW is the time to begin. I won’t ask why.  Reasons and excuses don’t matter. Just do it.

Gratitude expands your ability to see opportunity. It helps you create and attract good things into your life. When you appreciate what IS and what you already have, you make room for more good to come. You transform yourself through the practice of gratitude.

To see everything as a blessing comes with practice. Tough times, pain, sadness, loss are blessings too. Most of us never view them this way, but they are. Instead, we are conditioned to see problems and difficulty. When you can see these as blessings, all is transformed.

Life Is A Priceless Gift – Appreciate Very Minute Of It 

You are free! You are open and available. You no longer resist. You aren’t married to having the outcome according to your dictate. You allow. You accept. You can receive all the magic and miracles because you aren’t trying to manage the flow. You are going with it.

When you go with the flow, expressing gratitude for everything all along the way, you ARE enjoying the journey. That’s what life is all about! Living fully, enjoying now. Delight in the journey! NOW is the only time we actually have. Become present! Live in gratitude.

Transform yourself. Keep a journal. Make a list. Write down 5, 10, 25 things you are grateful for each day. Express your thankfulness and you open up to so much more to come your way!Really,  write them down. When you do you’ll discover much more to appreciate. Live in unconditional acceptance and love. Delight in all. Have fun. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Learn From Pain It Teaches You

“There are many forms of pain and discomfort; Mental or psychic; Emotional; Physical and Spiritual . Through the ages people have questioned whether or not there is an advantage to pain. What is the purpose? We are told it is a way to stop and care for ourselves.

Still, we don’t want it. We do anything to avoid it or escape from it. I can’t tell you what to do about your pain or what it means to you or for you. It is highly individual. I am not qualified to provide medical advice. I can share what I have discovered for myself.

This may be meaningful for you. I don’t like pain anymore than the next person. I’ve learned more on how to welcome it and embrace it. I have learned how to utilize it and go through it. What I discovered, and continue to, is that pain is a signal and a great teacher.

If Everything Were Perfect You Would Never Learn Anything

Pain lets us know there is something amiss in our body, mind, heart and spirit. It signals us so we can address whatever is not right. We get that, most of us do, anyway, when it comes to physical pain. Most of us miss it when it is mental, emotional or spiritual pain.

These forms of pain show up in many ways; regret, anguish, negative thinking, laziness or procrastination, apathy, melancholy, depression, anxiety, anger, loneliness and more. These seem harder to identify as signals but they are signals, none the less.

People, myself included, give in or wallow in these forms of pain. We want out. We want to escape but we accept and live with it. Instead of recognizing these signals that a change is needed or that there is a lesson for us, we succumb to the pain as if there’ s no alternative.

If You Are Not Learning And Changing You Are Not Growing

There is an alternative. Stop. Breathe. Shift your thinking. Focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want. It isn’t always easy but it gets easier the more you do it. You train yourself to move away from what you don’t want and towards what you do want. It IS training!

You train yourself to act instead of giving in. It is a conditioning. You  replace an old habit with a new productive supportive one. You learn to recognize the less than glorious signals, for what they are and, then stop, breathe and shift your thinking to what it is you want.

When your thinking shifts your feelings can follow. Another way you can alter your feelings and thinking is through physical activity. Change your breathing, work in a garden, take a walk, sing, dance, meditate. Do something that changes your state for the better.

Learn To Listen In Silence To Your Inner Wisdom And Voice

Many people use drugs and alcohol to escape. You don’t need to do that. You can change your physiology, your activity level and shift your thinking and emotions without drugs. You can positively influence yourself to grow and evolve and transform wonderfully.

Another method is to embrace the pain. Stay with it and go through it. Ask what lessons and beliefs are hidden within? What is it trying to get you to learn? Some of use get the same events, circumstances, people, and pains in our life over and over. There is a message here.

What do you need to learn so you can become free of these repetitive patterns? Explore and discover. You can shift and manage the pain while asking the same questions and learn from it. Be still! Listen to your inner voice. You may have been loud for too long.

Be Still And Know – In Every Obstacle Is The Seed Of Opportunity

You have to become still because you haven’t listened to yourself. You’ll need to re-learn how to. When you accept and celebrate and are grateful for the lessons and the pain you may find yourself becoming free of them. As you learn, you let go of the old.

Gratitude and appreciation are so powerfully transformative! They open the doorways to vast treasures within yourself and without. Express your thankfulness for everything good and not so good. Feel blessed by everything that comes your way. Then you ARE free!

Accept. Let go. Be thankful. Stop. Breathe and shift. Move, dance, sing, Allow. Embrace. Explore. Reflect. Discover. Feel blessed. Express it. Journal it. State it. Declare it. Affirm It. Visualize it. Dream it, Imagine it. Celebrate it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

What I Learned From Manifesting Parking Spaces

“What I learned from manifesting a parking space I didn’t expect to actually get. Miracles happen. Lessons abound. Keep the faith. Make things happen and accept whatever is. I settled for the first spot instead of risking and going for the one right in front.

So what it is all good. It is what it is. Allow it. Trust it. Continue to create and attract and allow and accept. Don’t try to push the water. Understand that this or something better exists for me. Everything IS a blessing, an opportunity and a learning. Take from that. Learn.

I got exactly what I wanted. A spot right in front AND a back up spot. Precisely, as I imagined them. I created the back up because I wasn’t convinced I could get the first spot. Always go for what you want. In this case I got both and took the second one because it was there.

What You Think And Feel Always Manifests – Do You Notice It

I encountered it first. Rather to be safe than sorry I snatched it. The other one was around the corner waiting. I couldn’t see around the corner. My unexpected good was right there. It would be easy to blame or make myself wrong but NOPE. That isn’t the case.

I created what I wanted. I got what I was ready in that moment to accept. No harm no foul. All is good. I don’t take this to mean take more risks. Nope. I did what I did. What amazes me most is that even while I didn’t believe I could have what I wanted I got all of it.

Then I didn’t take the prime spot. So what. I create or attracted or lucked into both spots. Whatever you want to think about it there are lessons here. What are yours? I am still learning from it. I could say more but enough for today. Bottom line celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

What You Can Do When You Are Suffering And In Pain

“Today, I suffered from some extreme nerve pain in my back, hip and all the way down my left leg. It is so intense I thought to go to urgent care to get some meds to sleep and help manage the pain. Then, I realized, I was not the pain. I am bigger than any obstacle.

I am not the thoughts but the thinker of the thoughts. This pain is here for me as a blessing to remedy what is out of alignment. It is a signal to me. BUT I am not the pain. Whatever anyone else choses is completely fine. This is my choice not a recommendation.

Use your own judgement. This is not medical advice. I went to the doctor who treated me and he said ‘Keep moving. Don’t sit.’ Standing and walking are nearly impossible. Sitting and lying down unbearable. It has made for a partly difficult day. Very intense.

Focus On The Goal Not On The Obstacle 

It nearly got the better of me. Then, I stopped and breathed and decided. I made a new choice. I determined to stop paying attention to the problem, the pain, and instead, focus on what feels good about my body in this moment. I decided to focus on what I want!

I focused on what felt the best rather than what felt the worst. I scan my body for where I feel the best, the most comfortable, and pay attention to that. Recently, I went on a grueling hike and engaged in some intense activities and used this principle to see me through.

I had to focus on where my body felt good while most of it was racked with pain. I focused on the beauty of the journey and where I was in nature instead of my physical limitations. I took my mind from suffering repeatedly and put it on more useful and delightful things.

Whatever You Focus On Expands And Grows Larger

It is all energy. Energy flows where attention goes. Attention goes where energy flows. I shifted where I placed my attention and allowed the energy of feeling good to take the place of feeling not so good. It is a moment to moment process at times. Still, I got relief!

Shifting from the pain requires me to stop and breath through it occasionally but I am managing. I’ll see the doctor again tomorrow for further treatment. When I determined the pain was a blessing rather than a problem I discovered much relief. NO, I am not ‘cured’.

The principle is to focus on what I am able to do. What I can do. Remove attention from the limitation and the ‘can’t’. Place attention on what I want, what I can do, and on that which moves me forward and gets me closer to my goal. Place the energy where it counts!

What You Focus On Is What You Get – You Create The Results

I’m not cured but I am moving forward, and learning I am not the pain. I am not the thoughts or feelings. I am the one beyond; who thinks the thoughts and feels the feelings. I can act in spite of mood, negative thinking or pain. I can focus my mind on what I want.

The mind is a tool and I am its master. It does not run me. I run my mind. Yes, I am sitting back, while typing this. Normally, an intensely painful position to be in. Still, I want to write this post and that means I go through it. I will be fine. I am fine. I AM! I am blessed.

I wanted to share. This is not about me, even while I share an experience. It’s about how to manage thoughts and take control of our thinking process to begin getting the results we want to get. It is learning to be bigger than problems and obstacles. Because we are.

If You Say You Have You Will Always Have What You Say

Sometime ago, I challenged my problems. I yelled, ‘bring it on’ and there has been no shortage of opportunity to learn and grow. Some repeated lessons, which I discussed recently. It is all good. I was and am happy to be able to shout, ‘bring it!’. They no longer detour me.

Problems, pain, negative thoughts and attitudes are all part of life. Someone once said, as children we aren’t responsible for the conditioning and negative programming we ended up with. As adults, however, we are 100% responsible for changing it.

This blog, my mission, is about this very point. You and I can change our old conditioning and create new powerful, positive, supportive conditioning that empowers us to get the results we want and deserve to get. We can make what we want happen. We truly can!

Change The Story You Keep Telling Yourself And Change Your Life

Your life can and will change! This is why I write this blog. I want you to know you can live life by your own design and on your own terms. There are things you can do, practices you can apply, principles you can adopt, habits you can create that will transform you!

When you do these your life will change for the better. Gratitude and attitude are a massive part of it. Inspiration and encouragement another massive part. Take control of your thoughts and feelings. Read and listen to positive messages. Visualize and affirm. Meditate and reflect. Create positive powerful daily rituals that serve you.  Be grateful and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Can You Visualize And Make Things Happen?

“I learned a lesson about manifesting by manifesting a parking space. Something so small many people would call it a coincidence. Perhaps. Still, see what you can derive and learn from this example from my experience. You may come away with a lot of insight.

I stayed at an apartment, in an area, that did not require a nighttime parking permit. Across the street to the south and a block a way a permit was required. This is where I would park if I couldn’t find a space on my street. My street was packed and spaces were rare.

They were much rarer if you parked there after 5pm. During the previous week no spots were available after 5 or 5:30 pm. I was going to be traveling the next day. I’d been at a meeting which was delayed. I left at 7:30 pm. I knew I’d have to park a block away.

What You Hold In Your Head You Can Hold In Your Hand

I decided at that moment to create a spot for myself right in front of the gate to the apartment. I saw it clearly in my mind. I affirmed that this was what I wanted. Heck, I’d even take a nearby one around the corner too. That was still close enough. I threw in the 2nd request.

Why? I imagined two spots because frankly, the likelihood of getting a spot in front of my apartment was nearly zero. I didn’t want to be disappointed in not getting one. I doubted there would be one. It was actually difficult for me to muster up enough energy to do it.

My thinking was don’t do this. There won’t be a spot and it will just weaken your convictions. Doubt, is a great de-motivator. I didn’t want to try something and have it not work. If I don’t know it won’t work I am willing, but I was certain this wouldn’t work. I knew it.

What You See Is What You Get

So I determined the first spot right out front and then a back up spot just in case. Neither were even remotely likely. I drove up the street and lo and behold the back up spot was available. I thought better take it now while it is here. I was tempted to drive around the corner.

I wanted there to be a spot in front of the apartment but if I didn’t take this one and there wasn’t I might miss out on this one too. I nabbed it. I parked. I felt good enough. I walked around the corner and there in front was the available space just as I imagined.

Both spots were there. I took the first one  got to, to be safe. This was unreal. Both spots in the exact places I visualized at a time when every day that week, and prior to that, there would be none. I felt fantastic, and a little bit disappointed I didn’t turn the corner first.

What You Focus On Expands – You Get What You Think About

I learned a lot from this experience which I will share soon. What might you have learned from my experience? This is important to explore? What might you have gleaned that you can use to manifest and create what you want in life? Please answer this for yourself.

What are your beliefs? Your convictions? Your doubts? What can you do to assist yourself in beginning to manifest with greater ease?  Take some time. I’ll share more soon. Meanwhile, enjoy! Delight and keep making great things happen. Practice gratitude and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Transformation Is A Process! Do You Know What Kind?

“Do you get that it IS a training process? Transformation IS a process of conditioning. Just as one learns to swim, ride a bike, play basketball or the piano one learns to be happy, create success, live life on one’s own terms, manage money and become who you want.

It IS a training. Change IS possible through practice. You get better the more you correctly repeat things over time, for a long enough period of time. Mastery IS a life long process. Skill acquisition comes from applying your knowledge. It is real time learning acquisition.

You learn to manage your thoughts and feelings. You learn to motivate and inspire yourself, even when you don’t feel like it. You learn to commit, and to keep your word. You learn to persevere and pursue your goals. You learn to manifest what you want.

Successful People Are Those With Successful Habits

You practice AND you get better. Actors rehearse. Sports players train and condition. People practice skill-sets. The reason you feel down and worried, focused on lack and scarcity, depressed and annoyed, lonely and afraid is because you practiced it over and over.

You didn’t realize you were doing that but that IS what you were doing. To change your life you have to practice NEW and different, useful, productive, positive, supportive skills so that the new ones become new habits. Then the news skills are reliable and automatic.

You SWAP one old skill set for a brand new skill set. How? Through correct practice and enough repetition until your brain gets that you choose the new skills over the old. It takes as much time as it takes. So, practice patience while you are at it. Practice gratitude, too.

Habits Are Difficult To Break So Be Sure And Develop Good Ones

Gratitude seems to speed everything up. Practice being happy now for no reason at all. Act as if you are on top of the world. Practice being the successful you from the future, right now. Feel it, see it, hear it, taste that success right now. Practice it. Live it. Act as if.

Be thankful. Celebrate. Be joyous, peaceful, kind, loving, generous, patient and dedicated. The more you do, the more you can do. Live it. Feel it. Have fun with it. Take it lightly. Make it a game. Let go. Don’t try to win. Just have fun playing. Delight in all. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Gotta Move A Lot Of Dirt To Get To The Gold!

“When you dig for gold you have to move tons of dirt. You’re not looking for the dirt. You’re looking for the gold. Still, you move all this dirt to find just a few ounces. The same is true when you seek to change and evolve yourself. You move the dirt to uncover the gold.

Sadly, some people focus on the dirt. They get caught up in the dirt. They revel in the dirt, talk about dirt, complain about dirt. Dirt, dirt, dirt. That is all they know. They don’t want the dirt but they perpetuate it. Instead of getting rid of dirt, they bag it and carry it.

When you begin to change and evolve you will encounter things about yourself you may not appreciate. You will find beliefs that don’t serve you. Memories of past hurts. You may be disappointed in a variety of ways, yet, this is all part of transformation and change.

The Future Can Be Better Than The Past And I Can Make It So

Remove the dirt that keeps your true self hidden. In order to discover who you are, eliminate what holds you back. Let it go. Drop it. Don’t wallow in it. Sift it for nuggets. Examine it and drop it. Don’t hang on to the dirt. Hang on to the treasures you find.

Since, you know you will encounter less than glorious thoughts and feelings, be prepared. Recognize these for what they are: opportunities to discover your true self hidden within them. Your obstacles, challenges, bad feelings, everything, are opportunities.

Remember, you get what you focus on! What you focus on expands. You get back more of what you put out.  They are not just opportunities but blessings! You are blessed. Go within. Appreciate yourself. Appreciate the journey. Appreciation always adds value!

Within In You Is The Light Of A Thousand Suns

Appreciate the dirt for it has kept you, the real you, hidden safe within it. It served its purpose. Now, let it go. Celebrate it! Learn from it. Learn from everything. Appreciate everything. Celebrate yourself. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Why You Keep Creating The Same Mess And How To Change It!

“Our outer world is determined by our inner filters. We respond from subconscious filters we adopted and developed, unconsciously, growing from infant into early childhood. These filters form the basis of our habitual thought and feeling habits. We think they are us.

Expanding thoughts from my last post on perception. They are not us but these filters determine what we notice, see and act on. They determine what we don’t notice, do not see and do not act on. Filters determine what we think is possible or not; what is ‘good or bad’.

These form the basis of our rules, evidence procedures, feelings, and actions. These become beliefs and values. Each moment our brains cycle through beliefs, values, memories, experiences,  associations and these filter are our connection with the outer world.

You Can Be Anything You Want If You Give Up The Belief You Can’t

So what is a filter? Think coffee filter. It lets certain things pass, water, while trapping the grounds. It works the same inside us. We notice or don’t based on our filters. That is why you can miss seeing your keys when they are right in front of you or even in your hand.

We are conditioned and habituated to these. We follow the same or similar ways of thinking, feeling and behaving every day. It’s as if we are our habits. We aren’t but we go to work the same way. We come home and do the same thing each day. We are routine.

We are routine in our relationships, our work, our passions, our hobbies, and our leisure. We are conditioned. Can we ever change our filters or our habits? Absolutely! It begins with awareness and dedication. We can begin to experience other ways to be. We can!

You Can Do Anything You Want If You Give Up That You Can’t

We can begin to examine our beliefs and whether they support us or not. If not, we can choose to begin to believe something more positive, productive and supportive. Don’t think right or wrong. Don’t think true or false. Think supportive or not supportive.

Does what you think, feel and do move you closer to who you want to be, what you want to do and have? OR Does it keep you where you are or move you further away? This is a useful way to begin to examine and become aware of what your filters are. Examine!

It is useful in discovering what may be holding you back. Habits are changed by deciding not to engage in the old ones. When you notice you are acting from habit, stop, breathe, and do something else that promotes what you want to promote. Replace the old with the new.

You Can Have  Anything You Want If You Give Up That You Can’t

Become aware when you think, feel and behave in less than glorious ways. From the moment you become aware, you have a choice point. You can make a new decision. That decision will determine whether or not you change what you are doing and change your life.

If you always do what you always have done you will always get what you always got. You will remain the same. To be different requires you change some things. No one else can do it for you. Only you can. AND YOU CAN! So it is up to. Add novelty to your life.

DO different things. Eat different foods. Go to new places. Learn new things.. Expand your horizons. Change things up. Every time you feel less than glorious or think negatively you encountered a belief or value, some filter that is old conditioning. Notice the feelings.

Whether You Think You Can Or Think You Can’t – You’re Right

Examine your beliefs. Do they serve you? If they don’t then doubt them. You don’t have to continue to believe them. Many people doubt they can do something they want to do. I say doubt that you can’t and then go ahead and do it. Be smart. Doubt limitations.

Be willing to not believe them, even though you have for so long. Let them go. Drop them. Be willing to try on a new and different belief. The old, chronic, negative, habitual conditioning  rises up automatically whenever you do new things to keep you the same.

Your beliefs and filters work to keep you the same. They keep you within a certain comfort zone even if that comfort zone is a painful one. It is what you are and do. It is your conditioning. The point is drop the old conditioning and choose new conditioning.

Whatever You Whisper To Yourself Has The Most Power

Gratitude and appreciation may be a new habit for you. Positive thinking and optimism may be new to you. Persistence and follow through may be new to you. Discover YOU are NOT your conditioning and habits. You only think you are. You are not!

When you discover you are not, you are free. Your conditioning masks who you really are. Trade it in for better conditioning. You aren’t your hand. You use your hand. The same is true of your habitual thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

When you trade your old conditioning for new conditioning everything can work better. Why? Because this time YOU choose it. YOU DECIDE IT! You are in charge. You choose what to believe and when. You create what you want. You are in charge. That makes the difference. Celebrate everything!”
